Since a horrific sectarian war erupted in the Central African Republic (CAR) in 2012, thousands of people have been killed. Nearly a million people have fled their homes. The International Rescue Committee asks New Yorkers what needs to happen to end one of the most forgotten humanitarian crisis in the world.

As the war in Syria hits its 4­year mark on March 15, humanitarian needs have never been greater. Satellite images show that 83 percent of the lights have gone out in Syria since the conflict began, plunging streets, homes and hospitals into darkness. Stand with the IRC and #withSyria to turn the lights back on.
